Abstract
We have applied the paired-tracer dilution method to the study of transport processes in a mixed mammalian muscle preparation, the perfused rat hindlimb. The method is suitable for the characterization of the kinetic parameters of sugar and amino acid transport and its regulation by hormones, contractile activity, hypoxia, etc. Insulin stimulates sugar transport by increasing the Vmax. of the process 2-3 fold, but its affinity is unchanged. Starvation increases the affinity of sugar transport in perfused skeletal muscle.Entities:
